It’s not about bathrooms at all. It’s about finding a way to “other” people for no good reason.

I asked a guy who was ranting about “men using the bathroom with my daughters” if he would be equally concerned about his sons being molested by their male soccer/football/hockey coach in the boy’s locker room. Because statistically there’s a WAY better chance of that happening.

It doesn’t solve the “straw-creepy-dude” problem in any case. If you say “born a woman use the women’s restroom” then McCreepy doesn’t even have to “put on a dress”, he can just say he was born a woman. I mean, if these alleged “fake-trans predators” were going to do that anyway, now they could do it with even less…

This isn’t a hot take at all. This is real talk.

The fact I keep circling back to with a lot of my conservative relatives is “The things you’re afraid of are already illegal.” Because if this really is an issue of molestation or abuse happening in bathrooms - already illegal. But of course, the real issue is “Trans people make me uncomfortable and I’d like to pass…

I think this is what most people do not realize: most transgender people look like the gender that they identify with versus the gender they were born. So, when they say that a transgender person must use a bathroom according to their biological gender, they don’t realize that it will look like a woman is using a…

But if that same trans woman were forced to use the men’s room, there is a very good chance that at some point someone she encountered there would do much more than bat an eye at her.

Once he does something positive, maybe we’ll throw a little credit his way.

You’re welcome! :D

You should also look up Michael Hughes, a trans man who started taking bathroom selfies to illustrate how ridiculous it is that he is forced to use the women’s bathroom. inam just waiting for him or other trans men to be accused of being perverts for using the women’s bathroom when in fact they were forced to use them…

We had the news on, and they were interviewing a trans woman who I would never have even guessed was trans if she hadn’t just said so. So my wife and I were talking about the fact that if that woman on the TV walked into the ladies room, neither of us would bat an eye. But if that same trans woman were forced to use…

And that’s the point of these bills. They’re intended to lead to harassment and even violence against trans people with the hope that trans people either stop existing or at the very least stop going in public.

Exactly.

That is weird.

Better than me. I only made it 39.

Mum and I often find ourselves referring to the grace and maturity we noticed of the kids in the documentary Gayby Baby (about kids of same-sex parents) which was often quite… sad is the wrong word but we both really felt a protective sense toward these kids who came across as so lovely and together but it just seemed…

Depending on the size of the community, there may not be enough wrestlers to have separate male and female teams. Wrestling is tough because there are so many weight divisions. If you don’t have enough people, then a lot of the kids won’t have anyone their size to wrestle.

That’s what I’m not getting here. He isn’t a cheater. But his win is a cheat. He shouldn’t have been made to play against females. These weren’t set up as co-ed matches, so he was forced into the position of being a guy who wrestled a gal. Unfair to him to make that his only choice, unfair to them to make them wrestle…

My 6 year old niece is currently winning tons of wrestling matches against boys and it is absolutely, positively, most certainly driving the parents of these boys batshit crazy. We live in Mormonville (aka Idaho), and the glossy, smiling exterior sheen of Mormonism that we’re all familiar with disappears in about…

As other people have noted, many wrestling programs across the United States have people wrestle against one another regardless of gender. They rely entirely on weight class.
